Purpose of the Westmount Baptist Church
A description of the purpose of Westmount Baptist Church (Montreal, Quebec)
To worship God and to proclaim publically the gospel of our lord and saviour jesus christ, who alone is the head of the church.
To accept, practise and teach that the holy bible is the inspired word of God, that it is the ultimate authority in all matters pretaining to faith, doctrine and practice, and that the holy spirit is the real and ever-present divine guide.
To observe with reverence the new testament ordinances of believer’s baptism by immersion and the lord’s supper.
To provide a place and opportunity for corporate worship of the true and living God; instruction in righteousness, and training in christian discipleship and service. Conducting a bible school and such missionary and other organizations as may be considered desirable.
From By-Laws of Westmount Baptist Church, March 27, 2001 amendment copy, By-law II -Purpose
As a church as we look to the future…
We will strive with humility to be of one mind as we seek to honour God as a church; being respectful of our differences in a spirit of love!
We will promote the spiritual and numerical growth, and thus the development of our congregation!
We will encourage more involvement in and commitment to church life by all in the congregation
We will strive to promote honest, open and sensitive communication at all times.
These “visions” will be helping our church to remain a strong and loving body of Christ here in Montreal.
